In fact, over the past month, current quarter estimates have risen from 39 cents per share to 40 cents per share, while current year estimates have risen from $1.67 per share to $1.74 per share.

Shaniqua:
Meanwhile, Bright Horizon is actually looking pretty good on its own too.

Manie:
This is arguably taking place in the Schools space as it currently has a Zacks Industry Rank of 64 out of more than 250 industries, suggesting it is well-positioned from this perspective, especially when compared to other segments out there.

Johana:
In summary, I remain a BFAM bull and continue to recommend the name as a Core Position.

Irina:
Cash flow will be aided by model leverage created as the company scales up.

Ying:
I expect cash flow to continue to grow sequentially Y/Y for the period reported and for BFAM to continue to responsibly expand into an eventual deleveraging cycle.

Monika:
Considering all that's taken place, namely the acquisition, this is impressive to say the least.

Devorah:
This is flat sequentially to Q1/15 reporting.

Dolores:
Including the impact of its acquisition and the shares that it repurchased in the second quarter (BFAM has an approved buyback program it executes into from time to time - never really in much size), the company exited 1H/15 at 3.4X net debt/EBITDA.
